American League Game Summary - Oakland at Cleveland

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Multiple errors led to the game's only run
and Zach McAllister pitched a gem as the Cleveland Indians shut out the
Oakland Athletics, 1-0, in a pitcher's duel from Progressive Field.

Carlos Santana led off the decisive fifth inning with a grounder to first
base, which was muffed by Brandon Moss. The ball then scooted toward second
base and was picked up by Eric Sogard, whose errant throw to the pitcher
covering first allowed Santana to advance to second. Mike Aviles singled
Santana to third two batters later, and Yan Gomes plated Santana with a
sacrifice fly to deep center field.

McAllister (3-3) went 7 2/3 innings, allowing just five hits and a walk while
striking out four. Chris Perez surrendered a one-out single to Yoenis Cespedes
in the ninth but got out of it unscathed for his fourth save of the season.

A's starter Tommy Milone (3-4) was terrific as well. He was charged with just
one unearned run and five hits over seven innings of work despite the loss.

Both pitchers were perfect through two innings. Sogard became the game's first
baserunner when he reached on an infield single with one out in the third,
but next batter Michael Taylor grounded into an inning-ending double-play.

Ryan Raburn doubled to begin the bottom of the third for Cleveland, giving him
101 two-baggers for his career.

Cespedes drove an 0-1 Perez offering up the middle in the ninth, but was
thrown out attempting to steal second by Gomes one batter later. Perez struck
out Moss to end the game.
